Coach Cullen bemused by toothless Wolves

Warrington coach Paul Cullen was left scratching his head after watching his side "cave in" against Wigan in their engage Super League derby at the JJB Stadium.

The Wolves were in control and led 14-6 until the sin-binning of Vinnie Anderson just before half-time but, after conceding three tries in a seven-minute spell early in the second half, they went on to suffer a 38-14 defeat.

It was their fifth loss in six matches and their misery was compounded with theloss of influential scrum-half Michael Monaghan with a leg injury in the closingmoments.

"The last 30 minutes was a poor effort and we're bitterly disappointed withour discipline and our defence on the back of it," said Cullen.

"To go in with a lead at half-time with a man down was a decent effort and Ithought we had weathered the storm of being a man short.

"But we are bitterly disappointed with the way we caved in in the last 30minutes."

Great Britain second rower Gareth Hock celebrated his 100th engage Super Leagueappearance in sparkling fashion, setting up two tries and scoring one himself tospark Wigan's remarkable transformation.

There was also a welcome return to tryscoring form by Australian stand-offTrent Barrett, the Warriors' leading scorer in 2007 who opened his Super Leagueaccount for the season with a brace.

George Carmont, Liam Colbon and Joel Tomkins scored Wigan's other tries, whilePat Richards kicked seven goals from as many attempts as the Warriors bouncedback in style from their Cardiff humiliation by arch rivals St Helens.

"We were very determined after the embarrassment by Saints and now we need tokick on," said Wigan coach Brian Noble.

In last night's other match, Danny McGuire claimed a second hat-trick in sixdays and skipper Kevin Sinfield equalled Andy Farrell's record of scoring in 48successive Super League rounds as Leeds surged seven points clear at the topwith a 58-12 win over Wakefield.
